KM Chicago will meet on Tuesday, February 7 at 5:30,
to learn about recent research findings on critical success factors for KM success. Note that the meeting will be at a new site. Please see location details and dial-in information in the sidebar. Meetings are free to all and no registration is required.

Curtis
Conley will discuss the results of his doctoral research on the critical
success factors (CSFs) for knowledge management. Curtis will present a summary
of current thinking around the most critical factors for KM, the results of his
study, what differences do (and don't) exist between different industries,
organizations of different sizes, different geographic regions, etc., and
ultimately share a new framework of CSFs for KM developed as a result of the
study.

The goal of the discussion will be to share
what factors may be most applicable to your organization, and to see if the
experience of KM Chicago members line up with the results of this study.

Curtis earned his doctorate in Adult
Education with a cognate in Knowledge Management from Northern Illinois
University. His research interests
include knowledge management, organizational learning, social media, and
enterprise collaboration. Curtis also works as a Community Coordinator within
the Global Consulting Knowledge Management group at Deloitte. There he works
with community moderators to launch and maintain successful communities of
practice.

Mark your calendars for KM Chicago’s first meeting of the
new year Tuesday, Feb 7.

With the second Tues being Valentine’s Day, we’re switching
to the first Tuesday just this one time. But as usual, the program will start
at 5:30 and be available on site and virtually via LiveMeeting.

What is not usual is that we will meet at the offices of
Gensler, an architect and design firm with offices in the old Carson Pirie
Scott at 11 East Madison.
